Bamboozled

Media | Author | Review | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
"With a wide range of incisive, sardonic, hyperbolic humor and drama, Lee sketches the circular connections between racist images, racist policies, and the lack of leadership to resist them." | ||||
"There's no questioning the strength of Lee's polemic nor the social and political observations that 'Bamboozled' offers, yet as a piece of film-making it is undeniably flawed." | ||||
"Starts out hilarious and then turns very, very grim." | ||||
"A frustratingly uneven satire with undeniably sharp teeth, isn't afraid to shoot comic darts at its targets until blood is drawn." | ||||
"Guaranteed to inspire, antagonize and divide his (Lee's) audience" | ||||
"It's the angriest film an unfailingly angry filmmaker has yet made, skewering almost everyone in it, both black and white" | ||||
"Spike Lee misjudged his material and audience. He doesn't find a successful way to express his feelings, angers and satirical points." |
